3.1 Global Limiter Section

This section consists of controls that globally affect all of the L3-LL’s bands.

Threshold/Input Meter

-Range -30dB to 0dB

-Default 0dB

Threshold is probably the most important control of the L3-LL, as it sets the global limiting threshold as a reference threshold for the 5 bands. Once set, any signal that goes above the threshold is limited, and gain is automatically made up by the same factor; i.e., if Threshold is set to -6dB, then automatic makeup gain will accordingly be 6dB.

The Threshold fader is located on the Input Meter, allowing easy adjustment with reference to input energy. Below the Input Meter, you will find Waves standard peak indicators. Click the peak indicator field to reset.
